Answer:
The 99% confidence interval is [tex]71.67 < \mu < 78.33[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is [tex]n = 15[/tex]
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 75[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]s = 5[/tex]
Given that confidence is 99% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 1\%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical values of [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table
The value is
[tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]
Generally the margin for error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } * \frac{ s}{ \sqrt{n} }[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 2.58 * \frac{ 5}{ \sqrt{15} }[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 3.3307[/tex]
The 99% confidence interval is mathematically represented as
[tex]\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E[/tex]
=> [tex]75 - 3.3307 < \mu <75 + 3.3307[/tex]
=> [tex]71.67 < \mu < 78.33[/tex]
The rate of change in sales S is inversely proportional to time t (t > 1), measured in weeks. Find S as a function of t when the sales after 2 and 4 weeks are 162 units and 287 units, respectively.
Answer:
S = 250/tStep-by-step explanation:
If the rate of change of sales is inversely proportional to the time t, this is expressed mathematically as ΔS ∝ 1/Δt
ΔS = k/Δt where k is the constant of proportionality
If ΔS = S₂-S₁ and Δt = t₂-t₁
S₂-S₁ = k/ t₂-t₁
If the sales after 2 and 4 weeks are 162 units and 287 units respectively, then when S₁ = 162, t₁ = 2 and when S₂ = 287, t₂ = 4.
On substituting this values into the given functions, we will have;
287 - 162 = k/4-2
125 = k/2
cross multiplying
k = 125* 2
k = 250
Substituting k = 250 into the function ΔS = k/Δt
ΔS = 250/Δt
S = 250/t
Hence the value of S as function of t when the sales after 2 and 4 weeks are 162 units and 287 units, respectively is expressed as S = 250/t

Suppose that $2000 is invested at a rate of 2.6% , compounded semiannually. Assuming that no withdrawals are made, find the total amount after 10 years.
Answer:
$2,589.52
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] A = P(1 + \dfrac{r}{n})^{nt} [/tex]
We start with the compound interest formula above, where
A = future value
P = principal amount invested
r = annual rate of interest written as a decimal
n = number of times interest is compound per year
t = number of years
For this problem, we have
P = 2000
r = 0.026
n = 2
t = 10,
and we find A.
[tex] A = $2000(1 + \dfrac{0.026}{2})^{2 \times 10} [/tex]
[tex] A = $2589.52 [/tex]
Compound interest formula:
Total = principal x ( 1 + interest rate/compound) ^ (compounds x years)
Total = 2000 x 1+ 0.026/2^20
Total = $2,589.52

What is the best way you learn math?
Answer:
to provide interest in the subject
As per my experience,I used to hate math and always scored less marks,the moment I was going to high school I realized the importance of math towards the future, see you'll find maths in nearly all subjects like the 3 sciences, economics, geography, business e.t.c
Why did you write this question at first?, just take some free time and think about it,the only best way to learn maths is to take maths positively as the best and most valuable subject,if you want to ace math you have to race it, challenge math like you'd challenge anyone to a game, practice math if it's your weakest point, practice is very much needed to skill maths and never be shy to ask your teachers whether you are studying online/offline. You'll need to get the shy behaviour out of you whether you like /don't like your teacher or your an average student.
Concentrate while learning math, whether there's noise in you background or not, Nothing can stop you in excelling math if you have full concentration, positiveness and the "will" to do so.
if you're next to your exams then just one thing, Start now!!
hope this helps!
A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and the number of sit-ups a person can do (y). The results were: y = a+bx b = -0.89 a = 23.65 r2 = 0.7038 If a person watches 14 hours of television a day, predict how many sit-ups he can do. What is the value of the correlation coefficient? Round to three decimal places.
Answer:
y = 11.19 ; 0.839
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and the number of sit-ups a person can do (y)
y = a + bx ; comparing with the linear regression model function
y = predicted variable
a = intercept
b = slope or gradient
x = independent variable
b = -0.89 a = 23.65 r2 = 0.7038
Therefore, if a person watches for 14 hours per day, that is x = 14, the number of sit-ups he can do will be :
y = 23.65 + (-0.89)(14)
y = 23.65 - 12.46
y = 11.19
About 11 sit-ups.
If the r^2 value = 0.7038
Then the Coefficient of regression = r
Will be the square root of r^2
r = sqrt(r^2)
r = sqrt(0.7038)
r =0.8389278 = 0.839

if the numbers x+3,2x+1and x-7are in AP then find x
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
If these numbers are part of an arithmetic progression, their differences are the same:
(x -7) -(2x +1) = (2x +1) -(x +3)
-x -8 = x -2
-6 = 2x
-3 = x
___
The numbers in the sequence are 0, -5, -10.
Answer:
x = -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
As it is an Arithmetic Progression the differences between successive terms are common, so:
2x + 1 - (x + 3) = x - 7 - (2x + 1)
2x - x + 1 - 3 = x - 2x - 7 - 1
x - 2 = -x - 8
2x = -8 + 2 = -6
x = -3.

AB||CD. Find the measure of
Answer:
135 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+15 = 5x - 5 because of the alternate interior angles theorem.
20 = 2x
x = 10
3(10) + 15 = 30+15 = 45
Remember that a line has a measure of 180 degrees. So we can just subtract the angle we found from 180 degrees to get BFG.
180-45 = 135.
Pregnancy length in horses. Bigger mammals tend to carry their young longer before giving birth. The length of horse pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a roughly Normal distribution, with mean 336 days and standard deviation 3 days. Use the 68–95–99.7 rule to answer the following questions.Required:What percent of horse pregnancies are longer than 339 days?
Answer:
16%
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between the time of interest (339 days) and the mean (336 days) is 3 days, which is exactly 1 standard deviation.
The 68-95-99.7 rule tells you that 68% of pregnancies will be within 1 standard deviation. The remaining 32% will be evenly split between pregnancies that are longer than 339 days and ones that are shorter than 333 days. So, half of 32%, or 16%, will be longer than 339 days.

Explain why within any set of ten integers chosen from 2 through 24, there are at least two integers with a common divisor greater than 1 g
Step-by-step explanation:
Here are some examples of ten integers (in this case prime numbers) chosen from 2 to 24;
2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23
Lets take for example the integers 15 and 21, they have a common divisor 3 which is greater than 1. Which implies that the number 3 can divide through 15 and 21 without a remainder, that is, 21 ÷ 3 = 7, 15 ÷ 3 = 5. Also note that 3 is a divisor of 9.
Therefore, we could right say that within any set of ten integers chosen from 2 through 24, there are at least two integers with a common divisor greater than 1.
A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was and the standard deviation was . The test scores of four students selected at random are , , , and .

(Round to two decimal places as needed.) The z-score for is nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The z-score for is nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Which values, if any, are unusual? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box within your choice. A. The unusual value(s) is/are nothing. (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) B. None of the values are unusual.
Answer:
The z-score for 1880 is 1.34.
The z-score for 1190 is -0.88.
The z-score for 2130 is 2.15.
The z-score for 1350 is -0.37.
And the z-score of 2130 is considered to be unusual.
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is: A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In recent years, the mean test score was 1464 and the standard deviation was 310. The test scores of four students selected at random are 1880, 1190, 2130, and 1350. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual. The z-score for 1880 is nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The z-score for 1190 is nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The z-score for 2130 is nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The z-score for 1350 is nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Which values, if any, are unusual? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box within your choice. A. The unusual value(s) is/are nothing. (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) B. None of the values are unusual.
We are given that the mean test score was 1464 and the standard deviation was 310.
Let X = standardized exam's scores
The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;
Z = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean test score = 1464
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 310
S, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=1464, \sigma^{2} = 310^{2}[/tex])
Now, the test scores of four students selected at random are 1880, 1190, 2130, and 1350.
So, the z-score of 1880 = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1880-1464}{310}[/tex] = 1.34
The z-score of 1190 = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1190-1464}{310}[/tex] = -0.88
The z-score of 2130 = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2130-1464}{310}[/tex] = 2.15
The z-score of 1350 = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1350-1464}{310}[/tex] = -0.37
Now, the values whose z-score is less than -1.96 or higher than 1.96 are considered to be unusual.
According to our z-scores, only the z-score of 2130 is considered to be unusual as all other z-scores lie within the range of -1.96 and 1.96.
A news article estimated that only 5% of those age 65 and older who prefer to watch the news, rather than to read or listen, watch the news online. This estimate was based on a survey of a large sample of adult Americans. Consider the population consisting of all adult Americans age 65 and older who prefer to watch the news, and suppose that for this population the actual proportion who prefer to watch online is 0.05. A random sample of n = 100 people will be selected from this population and p, the proportion of people who prefer to watch online, will be calculated.
(a) What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p? (Round your standard deviation to four decimal places.
(b) Is the sampling distribution of p approximately normal for random samples of size n 100? Explain.
i. The sampling distribution of p is approximately normal because np is less than 10.
ii. The sampling distribution of p is approximately normal because np is at least 10.
iii. The sampling distribution of p is not approximately normal because np is less than 10
iv. The sampling distribution of p is not approximately normal because np is at least 10
v. The sampling distribution of p is not approximately normal because n(1 - p) is less than 10.
(c) Suppose that the sample size is n = 400 rather than n = 100, what are the values for the mean and standard deviation when n=400?
Does the change in sample size affect the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p? If not, explain why not.
i. When the sample size increases, the mean increases.
ii. When the sample size increases, the mean decreases.
iii. When the sample size increases, the mean stays the same.
iv. The sampling distribution is always centered at the population mean, regardless of sample size.
v. When the sample size increases, the standard deviation increases.
vi. When the sample size increases, the standard deviation decreases.

7a < 35
Divide both sides by 7:
7a/7 < 35/7
a < 5.
Answer:
a < 5
Step-by-step explanation:
7a + 13 < 48
Subtract 13 from each side
7a + 13-13 < 48-13
7a < 35
Divide each side by 7
7a/7 < 35/7
a < 5
In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained green peas and yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of that was expected? 350 127 3 4 The probability of getting a green pea is approximately . (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.) Is this probability reasonably close to ? Choose the correct answer below. 3 4 A. No, it is not reasonably close. B. Yes, it is reasonably close.
Answer:
The probability of getting an offspring pea that is green is is 0.733
YES, the probability is reasonably close to the expected value of 3/4 (0.750)
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating the probability of an event is;
P = Favorable Outcome / Sample space
Let A be an event of getting an offspring green peas, B be an event of getting an offspring yellow peas and N be the total number of peas.
number of green peas in an offspring are 350
number of yellow peas in an offspring are 127
total number of peas are 477
So in the genetic experiment, the number of times event A occurs is 350 and the number times event B occurs is 127
Now the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green is
P = number of green peas / total number of peas
p = n(A)/N
p = 350/477
p = 0.733
So YES, the probability is reasonably close to 3/4 ( 0.750 )
The probability of getting an offspring pea that is green is is 0.733.
YES, the probability is reasonably close to the expected value of 3/4 (0.750)
Angles One angle is 4º more than three times another. Find
the measure of each angle if
a. they are complements of each other.
b. they are supplements of each other.
[tex] \Large{ \boxed{ \bf{ \color{purple}{Solution:}}}}[/tex]
Let the smaller angle be x
Then, Larger angle would be x + 4°
Case -1:❍ They are complementary angles.
This means, they add upto 90°So,
➙ x + x + 4° = 90°
➙ 2x + 4° = 90°
➙ 2x = 86°
➙ x = 86°/2 = 43°
Then, x + 4° = 47°
So, Our required answer:
Smaller angle = 43°Larger angle = 47°Case -2:❍ They are supplementary angles.
This means, they add upto 180°So,
➙ x + x + 4° = 180°
➙ 2x + 4° = 180°
➙ 2x = 176°
➙ x = 176°/2 = 88°
Then, x + 4° = 92°
So, Our required answer:
Smaller angle = 88°Larger angle = 92°✌️ Hence, solved !!

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW
The demand equation for a product is p=90000/400+3x where p is the price (in dollars) and x is the number of units (in thousands). Find the average price p on the interval 40 ≤ x ≤ 50.
Answer
$168.27
Step by step Explanation
Given p=90000/400+3x
With the limits of 40 to 50
Then we need the integral in the form below to find the average price
1/(g-d)∫ⁿₐf(x)dx
Where n= 40 and a= 50, then if we substitute p and the limits then we integrate
1/(50-40)∫⁵⁰₄₀(90000/400+3x)
1/10∫⁵⁰₄₀(90000/400+3x)
If we perform some factorization we have
90000/(10)(3)∫3dx/(400+3x)
3000[ln400+3x]₄₀⁵⁰
Then let substitute the upper and lower limits we have
3000[ln400+3(50)]-ln[400+3(40]
30000[ln550-ln520]
3000[6.3099×6.254]
3000[0.056]
=168.27
the average price p on the interval 40 ≤ x ≤ 50 is

A. f(x) = -x^2 - x - 4
B. f(x) = -x^2 + 4
C. f(x) = x^2 + 3x + 4
D. f(x) = x^2 + 4
Answer:
B: -x^2 + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
If the equation was [tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex], then the vertex would be at 0, and the "U" would be facing straight up. Here, the "U" is upside down, so that means the "x^2" would have to be a negative number ([tex]-x^2[/tex]) to get the upside-down "U". Then, we could see that the vertex is at positive 4, so that means that the parabola moved up 4 units, so the equation should end in +4.
Our answer is:
B: -x^2 + 4
The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 9 cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 7 cm/s. When the length is 12 cm and the width is 5 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing?
Answer:
129 [tex]cm^2/s[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Increasing rate of length, [tex]\frac{dl}{dt}[/tex]= 9 cm/s
Increasing rate of width, [tex]\frac{dw}{dt}[/tex] = 7 cm/s
Length, l = 12 cm
Width, w = 5 cm
To find:
Rate of increase of area of rectangle at above given points.
Solution:
Formula for area of a rectangle is given as:
[tex]Area = Length \times Width[/tex]
OR
[tex]A = l \times w[/tex]
Differentiating w.r.to t:
[tex]\dfrac{d}{dt}A = \dfrac{d}{dt}(l \times w)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d}{dt}A = w \times \dfrac{d}{dt}l +l \times \dfrac{d}{dt}w[/tex]
Putting the values:
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{dA}{dt} = 5 \times 9 + 12 \times 7\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dA}{dt} = 45 + 84\\\Rightarrow \bold{\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 129\ cm^2/sec}[/tex]

= 1017.9 cm²
Suppose that 11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped). Consider a random sample of 200 shafts, and let X denote the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked.Required:a. What is the (approximate) probability that X is at most 30?b. What is the (approximate) probability that X is less than 30?c. What is the (approximate) probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive)?
Answer:
(a) The probability that X is at most 30 is 0.9726.
(b) The probability that X is less than 30 is 0.9554.
(c) The probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive) is 0.7406.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that 11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked. A random sample of 200 shafts is taken.
Let X = the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked
The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution such that X ~ Binom(n = 200, p = 0.11).
Here the probability of success is 11% that this much % of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked.
Now, here to calculate the probability we will use normal approximation because the sample size if very large(i.e. greater than 30).
So, the new mean of X, [tex]\mu[/tex] = [tex]n \times p[/tex] = [tex]200 \times 0.11[/tex] = 22
and the new standard deviation of X, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{n \times p \times (1-p)}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{200 \times 0.11 \times (1-0.11)}[/tex]
= 4.42
So, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu =22, \sigma^{2} = 4.42^{2}[/tex])
(a) The probability that X is at most 30 is given by = P(X < 30.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X < 30.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{30.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 1.92) = 0.9726
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.92 in the z table which has an area of 0.9726.
(b) The probability that X is less than 30 is given by = P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 29.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 29.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{29.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.70) = 0.9554
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.70 in the z table which has an area of 0.9554.
(c) The probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive) is given by = P(15 [tex]\leq[/tex] X [tex]\leq[/tex] 25) = P(X < 25.5) - P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 14.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X < 25.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{25.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.79) = 0.7852
P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 14.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{14.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -1.70) = 1 - P(Z < 1.70)
= 1 - 0.9554 = 0.0446
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.79 and x = 1.70 in the z table which has an area of 0.7852 and 0.9554.
Therefore, P(15 [tex]\leq[/tex] X [tex]\leq[/tex] 25) = 0.7852 - 0.0446 = 0.7406.
The U.S. Dairy Industry wants to estimate the mean yearly milk consumption. A sample of 21 people reveals the mean yearly consumption to be 74 gallons with a standard deviation of 16 gallons. Assume that the population distribution is normal. (Use t Distribution Table.)
a-1. What is the value of the population mean?
16
Unknown
74
a-2. What is the best estimate of this value?
Estimate population mean

Value of t
d. Develop the 90% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Confidence interval for the population mean is and .
e. Would it be reasonable to conclude that the population mean is 68 gallons?
a) Yes
b) No
c) It is not possible to tell.
Correct question is;
The U.S. Dairy Industry wants to estimate the mean yearly milk consumption. A sample of 21 people reveals the mean yearly consumption to be 74 gallons with a standard deviation of 16 gallons.
a. What is the value of the population mean? What is the best estimate of this value?
b. Explain why we need to use the t distribution. What assumption do you need to make?
c. For a 90 percent confidence interval, what is the value of t?
d. Develop the 90 percent confidence interval for the population mean.
e. Would it be reasonable to conclude that the population mean is 68 gallons?
Answer:
A) Best estimate = 74 gallons
B) because the population standard deviation is unknown. The assumption we will make is that the population follows the normal distribution.
C) t = 1.725
D) 90% confidence interval for the population mean is (67.9772, 80.0228) gallons
E) Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Sample mean; x' = 74
Sample population; n = 21
Yearly Standard deviation; s = 16
A) We are not given the population mean.
So the closest estimate to the population mean would be the sample mean which is 74.
B) We are not given the population standard deviation and as such we can't use normal distribution. So what is used when population standard deviation is not known is called t - distribution table. The assumption we will make is that the population follows the normal distribution.
C) At confidence interval of 90% and DF = n - 1 = 21 - 1 = 20
From t-tables, the t = 1.725
D) Formula for the confidence interval is;
x' ± t(s/√n) = 74 ± 1.725(16/√21) = 74 ± 6.0228 = 67.9772 or 80.0228
Thus 90% confidence interval for the population mean is (67.9772, 80.0228) gallons
E) 68 gallons lies within the range of the confidence interval, thus we can say that "Yes, it is reasonable"
